30 panes of solar roofing. So this is what a solar roof would look like!

almost a German landscape! I noticed that the farmers and city dwellers made a good use of solar power panels on their roofs! good to see some of this in the USA too!

They are effective. Scott asks a good question.

I wonder how those would have held up to our baseball size hail three months ago?

Excellent shot for the green challenge. V

We have a lot of solar panel usage, mainly to run secondary power for hot water heaters and such. Still need the big WATTS to run whole house A/C which is a necessity in south Texas. This is a neat find, and I also agree with Burtmann. Interesting contrast.

For me the AC in the window sort of contradicts the green theme. v

Powerful green roofing! Great find and fits perfectly for the challenge. Hope they get some bucks back from the utility company. Solar are still so expensive...at least here in CA. (where gas has jump up over 30 cents in one day)
